Hey everyone
I decided to post a second chapter today because I have written a lot for this story the last two days. I wrote five and a half chapters in eight hours. I'm so proud of myself. Little Renesmee will be in the story as well as a vampire Bella.

Thank you for your review SarahRose873. I appreciate it so much. I'm glad you can feel what I'm trying to get across. To be honest there have been chapters I have written that made me cry as I wrote them. I also love the song If I die young. Some times in music class, I would pretend to be playing but just be listening to the same song over and over.
Keep reviewing.

Angela
Bella's POV
I haven't felt this good in months.
After I finished attempting to contact Alice last night, I didn't have to wait long before I got her text. I couldn't believe it actually worked. I mean, I kept telling myself it would but there was that part of me that knew it wouldn't work.
For the rest of the evening I skipped round the house singing whatever was on the radio. I made a delicious lasagne that was ready just as Charlie walked through the door. He seemed surprised by the atmosphere in the house last night. He hadn't seen me so elated since before my birthday. It made him happy, which made me even happier. We spent the rest of the evening watching a baseball game. I didn't mind because it meant I got to spend some quality time with Charlie.
This morning I woke up to find Charlie gone. I had a small breakfast then just sat on the couch reading with the radio on in the back ground.
I looked up at the clock to find it was one in the afternoon. Hauling myself up, I made my way into the kitchen to find some bread on butter.
The bread was in the toaster when Grenade came on. I started singing along, dancing around the kitchen when I smelt something burning. The fire alarm went off, so I got a dish cloth and waved it over the smoky toaster to waft the smoke out the now open window. After clearing the smoke the fire alarm stopped its horrendous beeping. I know they are supposed to alert you to danger, but could it not be a different sound like the ocean or something. It would be calming so that people won't be running round panicking.
The toast was now thoroughly burnt, but not caring much I scrapped the top and bottom of and spread a layer of butter on it and started munching away. Slightly burnt toast actually tastes really good. Who would have thought? Not wanting to throw up today I only had two pieces of toast.
Collapsing onto the couch I picked Wuthering Heights up and continued reading. Just as I got to the end of the book a knock at the door brought my attention to the time. It was almost a quarter to four. Once at the door I called out to whoever was there.
"Who is it?"
"Bella. It's Angela. Can I come in?"
I unlocked the door to see a nervous Angela waiting.
"Hey Ange. Come in. I didn't know it was you but I have learnt not to just open the door. You never know who could be out there?"
Angela gave me a big smile when she saw me and brought me into a gentle hug. I have always liked Angela; she has always been there for me, even when I wasn't friendly to her. Angela isn't like anyone else round town- she doesn't look for gossip- she cares when something is wrong.
After both Angela and I were seated she turned to me and said what I did not want to hear.
"Bella, everyone knows Mike was shot by your dad. I have heard rumours that he was shot in your room after you two did something. I don't believe the rumours because I know you aren't that sort of person. If you don't want to tell me that's ok, but I promise that I won't tell anyone."
I didn't want to tell anyone else but felt the need to tell a female. Other than Alice, Angela was the only person I would talk to about this. I could tell Angela wanted to know for my benefit.
"It is true that Mike was shot by Charlie in my room."
Angela looked shocked. She was going to say something but I held my hand up silencing her before folding my legs beneath me and placing my hands in my lap.
"It started on Thursday. Mike delivered pizza to my house and Charlie answered the door. Charlie took the pizza into the kitchen. Mike asked me questions about why I wasn't in school. I told him the truth- that I wasn't well. He then approached me and said things he shouldn't have. He basically asked if he could come round the next day and have sex with me. I don't like Mike and had no intention of having sex until I was happily married. Before I could do anything he started kissing me. In the end Mike was thrown of me and arrested by Charlie. I fainted soon after. I woke up the next day in hospital and had to relay what happened to Officer David and Dr Roberts. I came home and spent the day in bed. It wasn't until Saturday I saw Mike again. I was scared; he was supposed to be behind bars down at the station but he was right outside my front door. He threw himself at me. I didn't know what to do. He had dragged me onto my bed. I fought him the best I could but he tied my wrists to the bedposts. I knew no matter what I did I wouldn't be able to get away. Charlie was at the station helping fill the paperwork for Mike's case. No one could help me so I gave up. I didn't give in. I would never give in. I just stopped moving and paying attention to my surrounding. The next thing I know my ankles are tied around Mike while he raped me. I heard someone knocking on the front door and Charlie calling for me to open the door. With one last attempt of getting help I screamed for help. Charlie heard and somehow got the front door open; Mike had got of me and beat me. A shot rang out through my room and then everything went black. I woke up the next day back in the hospital. Mike had been shot dead. I had a broken rib, raw wrists and I was told I would never have children."
Throughout my whole telling Angela sat in a state of shock. At the part of Mike raping me I had started crying. When she saw I had finished my tale she wrapped her arms round me and sobbed into my shoulder. We sat there sobbing into each other for a few minutes until she started apologising to me. I pulled back and made her look me straight in the eyes.
"Angela listen to me. It is not your fault. You have nothing to be sorry for. Mike can't get me or anyone else and I have moved on with my life."
I sighed and moved back to the corner of the couch.
"I am happy. I know that is hard for you to believe after everything I have been through but I am happy. You know why? Because Edward is coming home soon. I have a plan to bring the Cullens back to Forks. I have contacted Alice and she is helping me. I can finally be happy and I just want to move on with my life. There is no point worrying about me. What's done is done and Mike is gone. Can we just forget about the last few months and go back to being best friends?"
"Yeah, I suppose we can."
She gave a small laugh at my question. We both took a big, deep breath at the same time and burst out laughing. The tension in the room disappeared.
We spent the next hour and a half talking and joking about meaningless stuff. Then she came to what I had said about the Cullens.
"So Bella, what are you doing about the Cullens?"
"Well I found a letter from Edward hidden in my floorboards explaining why he broke up with me. He didn't want me waiting for something he believed would never happen. He left me saying he didn't love me, that he didn't want me. The letter told me he still loved me. On Thursday I am flying out to Denali to meet the Cullens and will return next Thursday with all the Cullens. I can't tell you how I know this- no one will ever know but me- however when they return they won't be leaving until we are all of too collage."
"I'm glad you will be happy again. Edward is just like you. You're both quiet, independent individuals. Just don't forget about me when they come back."
"I promise we will always be best friends Ange, no matter what. Now tell me how's it going with Eric?"
Angela and Eric had grown closer since prom. They weren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend but had gone on several dates since prom. If I had anything to do with it they would be official by the end of the month.
"We went on a date last week and he took me to this new, fancy restaurant in Port Angelus. He is so nice. The furthest our relationship has gone is a small chaste kiss every now and then. I'm not sure what are relationship can be called right now because we aren't BF and GF but we are defiantly more than friends."
"It's ok Ange. You'll figure it out soon enough."
"You are an amazing friend Bella. Look at the time. I need to get home. I'm babysitting my brothers tonight."
"I'll see you soon Ange."
"Text me when you are free."
"Bye."
"Bye Bella."
I closed the door behind Angela and breathed a sigh of relief. I had told someone that didn't care what happened; someone that cared for me.
Charlie came home soon after and kept giving me these mysterious glances. He told me not to cook tonight and ordered a pepperoni pizza for us to share.
We both got into bed after he told me Dr Roberts would be round to discuss something important with me in the morning.
